Hello Erdem,

The "Add email as task" feature does not copy the content of the message to the task. It creates a local link to the message with its unique ID allowing you to access it through the app you've used to create it so your browser won't understand the link to "Outlook, message ID=5446546".

However, there's another (Premium) feature to add emails as tasks - to send the email to your Todoist project. This will not create a link to the message, but will convert the email into a task note. To access this feature, right-click on a project and choose "Email tasks to this project" from the menu.
